The value story
The lowest price on record is $23.99, set in August 2026. 27 discounts in the 3 years on record. They run about 35 percent off, roughly 6 weeks apart.
It is pricier than 93 percent of its genre. The games it most resembles do better on the same math. GROUND BRANCH ($29.99, scores 39) and Incursion Red River ($21.99, scores 42) both outscore it.
Players rate it 79 percent positive over its lifetime, but the last 30 days run 38 percent. Something recent has soured the room. Of the 699 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 29 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written October 2025 to August 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 9 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 1,071 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 89 have a larger share. The typical game sits near 5 in 1,000, so the score docks it. 4 of the 29 refunded reviewers were past Valve's two-hour window when they wrote the review. Inside the two-hour refund window, 57 percent of the 2,852 reviews written there were positive, against 79 percent overall, and those are 22 percent of everything written about it.
The main story runs 2.8 hours. Doing everything runs 14, 5.1 times as long.

What players say
This WAS a phenomenal game. Played it a lot with mates, had a blast, then one day an update released and it went from a fun sim-like experience to pure arcade shooter. Enemies die only after half a magazine like they have a health bar, sometimes the guns dont even do damage, and my mates n I lost all interest. No point in playing when enemies have health bars and down you from half the map away in a single shot...
What happened to this game? It was a fun sim experience with real world interviews that you could jump into and have a blast for a couple hours. Now it's some arcade-esque shoot-em up that lost all the flavor it had. Hell, somehow the AI got stupider than it already was. And I used to be able to play on high settings. Now I can't hit 60 fps on medium. Save your money.
Essentially abandoned after what was, like, a 17 year development cycle but it does the job that was set to do. I still remember being in a broken house with my friends (one messed up real bad) and hearing whistles, realizing the al-Qaeda (who wasn't here before the war) was about to storm our position because they KNOW the Americans are here and distinctly thinking (even though its a game) "what are we doing here"...
